J-bass series/parallel wiring with DPDT switch

[slim_jim]

This is probably a daft thread so apologies in advance but I'm not an electronics expert.

I followed a wiring diagram to do this last night and I seem to have killed my bass (for the time being at least!)

This is quite strange as I successfully did the same operation to a Tele copy minutes earlier!

I think the problem lies with the fact I was following a right handed diagram on a left-handed bass. For the Tele I followed a set of text instructions whereas with the diagram I was getting confused by having to invert stuff.

These are the Tele instructions:

1. Run a lead from the neck pup's HOT lug on the three-way to p/p LUG "A" - leave the neck's HOT lead on the three-way.
2. Move the bridge pup's HOT lead to LUG "C" and run a lead from LUG "B" back to the three-way to the lug where you just reemoved the bridge pup's HOT lead.
3. Solder a jumper between LUG "C" and LUG "D"
4. Move the neck pup's negative lead to LUG "E"
5. Solder a jumper from LUG "F" to ground.

Could anyone post a set of concise instructions in this manner for the J-Bass? Thanks

go slow, one wire at a time....
Hope this helped.

That link is for standard wiring; I need one for series/parallel switching.

scrool down a couple pages and see "a series/parallel switch on a humbucker", a humbucker is two single coils so this will work....
